From a PowerShell program, I can "dot source" another PowerShell program. i.e I can execute it as if it were written inside the first one.
Example:
Write-Host 'before'
. MyOtherProgram.ps1
Write-Host 'after'
MyOtherProgram in 'included' inside the main program, exactly as if its content had been copy/pasted.
The problem is: I can only dot source a filename finishing with .ps1
I can't with MyOtherProgram.lib
or MyOtherProgram.whatever
Anyone have a method to dot source a PowerShell script not ending with .ps1
?
Another way would be using Invoke-Expression
:
$code = Get-Content ./MyOtherProgram.lib | Out-String
Invoke-Expression $code
